NVGs will perform poorly if there’s little to no ambient light since the photocathode needs visible and near visible radiation (400 nm to 1000 nm) to work at all. FLIR uses longer wavelengths (no visible) of 3000 nm to 12000 nm so infrared. Unless you’re flying over the Arctic, FLIR will provide useful visual information based on the relative IR emissions of things radiating on the ground.

RE: Quick update from the frontlines, 4.36
<p>@Seifer Amazing effort. We’re patient; after all, this is a free update to a free mod. Still boggles my mind the amount of talent going into this. Thank you all.</p>

RE: F-16s cockpits upscale - May 2, 2022 update (for 4.36)
@Kevstosmart He redid all the cockpits for the aircraft in this series https://il2sturmovik.com/store/battle-of-stalingrad/ to a very high standard.

RE: FLIR Boresighting & very dark night
@alfred Gen 1 NVGs used IR illuminators but these are naturally limited in range and give away the position of the operator. Current NVGs only amplify ambient visible and near IR, i.e. they don’t have an illuminator.

RE: Falcon BMS 4.36 TRAILER 4K
Really well produced trailer and obviously some very cool features to look forward to in .36.

@Kevstosmart It should be, he redid a lot (all?) of the cockpits for Il-2 BoX as an official project.
@Oyster_KAI Cheers for this and the work you did on Il-2 BoX as well.

RE: EZ Boards not working with 4.36
@CriticalMass Ya. I’ve yet to try it, but I think updating the references in the EZBoards.bat and EZWatch.bat (if you use it) from 4.35 to 4.36 should work. I checked the registry entry for 4.36 and it’s in the same location with the same text as previous. The EZboards bat files says that it’ll need updating for each BMS revision so clearly it’s meant to be modified.

RE: FaceTrackNoIR problems
My friend Finch is having an issue with his keystrokes to see and/or center in BMS. He is updated to the current U3. He is in Italy and could use some help…
Try Opentrack instead of FaceTrackNoIR. Works very well in my experience.

RE: Thrustmaster T.16000M + TWCS Keyfile
Thanks Orffen! I’d struggled for ages trying to get my controls set up but your config has given me a leg up. It’s a shame the axes aren’t defined (not your fault) as this foxed me when I first started and it seems like you have to set them up in a specific order (stick before throttle) otherwise you end up with the throttle mini stick controller pitch and roll!
This should be rolled into the next patch so that it’s there for other folks who might have been burned trying to set up their controllers.
